Thank you to everyone who participated!
We were overwhelmed by the amazing turnout of people who walked, ran and cheered others on at the DC Race 5K and Kids Fun on September 6th, 2025! What a day it was to remember as the community joined together to raise valuable resources for providing quality healthcare for the working uninsured, educational assistance, emergency food and clothing for underserved families in DeSoto County. Check out this short recap video as we relive the memories and let’s start training for the DC Race 5K and Kids Fun Run in 2026!
Hear a special thank you from Executive Director, Jenna Kern, and check out some highlights from the day!
